We hope you are as excited as we are for move-in! It is an exciting time, and it will be here before we know it. To make sure you are prepared to come to Winthrop, make sure you read and complete the items below. We cannot wait to welcome you to your new home!

We encourage you to bookmark this page for updates as we get closer to August.

Important Dates:

End of July: Pre-Check In Process made available

August 19 & 20: New student move-in
August 21 & 22: Returning student move-in

NOW: Complete Your Pre Check-In Process and Pick Your Move-In Appointment

Residential students now have access to the Pre Check-In at the end of July. Each resident must complete their Pre-Check In Process which includes completing their required Quarantine and Isolation Plan.

If your preferred time is not available, please be flexible. There are enough time slots available for all students for each move-in day.

First year students will be permitted to move into their residence halls on August 19 and 20. Returning students will be permitted to move into their residence halls on August 21 and 22. Students participating in early arrival groups must have an invitation from the sponsoring department. No early arrivals outside of prearranged groups are allowed.

Below are the steps to complete the Pre-Check In Process:

Digitally sign the COVID Testing/Vaccination Acknowledgment and updated Housing Contract COVID-19 Pandemic Addendum
Room Key Acknowledgment
E-RCR (Electronic Room Condition Report) Acknowledgment
Emergency Contact Information
Medical Form (This information is kept in the event of a medical emergency in the residence hall.)
Quarantine and Isolation Plan (This information is used in the event you must quarantine or isolate due to COVID-19.)
Schedule your check-in arrival date and time.

Required Quarantine & Isolation Plan

All residential students must submit a Quarantine & Isolation plan of action to Residence Life in Eaglesnest outlining their intentions of where they will go to quarantine or isolate. You will submit your plan when selecting your move-in time slot during your Pre Check-In Process.

Example: If I were to need quarantine & isolation housing, I will drive to my home in Irmo, SC and stay with my family. I will have a place to stay for the necessary time I need to quarantine and/or isolate. If for some reason I were unable to go home, I will stay with my aunt in Simpsonville, SC.

Complete COVID-19 Compliance

Knowing your status prior to returning to campus is an essential part of risk mitigation for the safety of campus. Please continue to exercise full caution and adhere to the established COVID safety protocols. Residence Life and Health Services requires students to:

Option 1. Upload completed COVID Vaccination Requirement with two-week immunity period. You may upload the complete front of your completed vaccination card to the Patient Portal no later than 48 hours before your arrival date and time. The final dose of your COVID vaccination series must be completed by August 1 to meet this requirement.
OR Option 2. Upload evidence of a negative COVID-19 test. You may upload evidence of a negative COVID-19 test to the Patient Portal. Only PCR or rapid antigen test results will be accepted. Antibodytests will not be accepted. You may test up to five days before you move in but you must upload your results no later than 48 hours before your arrival date and time.
